ruby on rails - RSpec changing model attribute name -

not value, name of attribute. yes, real. don't know hell going on.

the migration:

class createfolders < activerecord::migration   def change     create_table :folders |t|       t.string :name, null: false        t.timestamps     end      change_table :bookmarks |t|       t.belongs_to :folder     end   end end 

the schema:

activerecord::schema.define(version: 20140424065045)    # these extensions must enabled in order support database   enable_extension "plpgsql"    create_table "bookmarks", force: true |t|     t.string   "name",       null: false     t.string   "url",        null: false     t.datetime "created_at"     t.datetime "updated_at"     t.integer  "folder_id"   end    create_table "folders", force: true |t|     t.string   "name",       null: false     t.datetime "created_at"     t.datetime "updated_at"   end  end 

what shows inside of rails c:

[3] pry(main)> bookmark => bookmark(id: integer, name: string, url: string, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, folder_id: integer) 

and now, our huge glaring problem:

[3] pry(#<rspec::core::examplegroup::nested_2::nested_1>)> bookmark => bookmark(id: integer, name: string, url: string, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, folders_id: integer) 

notice name of last attribute there: folders_id

does know in hell ever cause this?

finally found issue was, , damn bizarre.

so brand new in rails 4, activerecord::migration.maintain_test_schema!. convenient little tool pretty nice, only updates test schema on creation of new migration. in process, if migration wrong first time, , update later, you'll find inconsistencies this.

to fix problem, run rake db:test:prepare. you'll deprecation warning, ignore it. when check inside of rspec again should work fine.
